I did use a darkroom thermometers for years. Then I bought a "fishing" thermometer and lost that one. I was leaving for a fishing trip and realized that I needed a thermometer and stole the small digital meat thermometer. I have been using a meat thermometer for almost a decade now. I do...

Back in the late 1970's I lived in Idaho and drove over to the Seep Lakes to fish them in February. I was camped at the lake and was fishing out of the canoe when the agent showed up. Checked out my campsite and the Idaho plates on my truck. He glassed me while I was fishing and it was...

I took a class on learning to canoe. I think it was like twice a week for a couple of months. It was put on by a canoe club, and they are easily found by searching the internet. It included all the safety stuff, and even required swimming a 1/4 mile in a pool with your clothes on while...

I prepared economic reports for the Forest Service from 1980 through 2003 every year. Part of it was to compare Forest Service counties with adjacent counties. King County is pretty incredible for generating state tax revenue. Really somebody in state government needs to look at WHY...

The only thing I add to the note is the responsible Sherriff Office phone number in case I don't come home. It is just good manners to include a time for somebody to call for help. Helps remove that stress point from your "savior". You can always turn on the find my phone feature on your...

You should get a job as a dirt forester. You would be good at it.

Your absolutely correct. I started working as a forester and took up fly fishing about the same time. I was living in North Idaho and was fishing a cutthroat stream. The rocks were slick and I got wet. Then I twisted my ankle. Then inside of one hour I caught my fly on brush three times...

What was your statement to AI for the obit. This is interesting how AI composes the obit.

I stand corrected.....here is the AI response using the statement submitted by flybill. Obituary for “FlyBill” The Pacific Northwest fly fishing community lost one of its most colorful and dedicated members with the passing of “FlyBill,” a familiar voice on the regional fly fishing forums and...

Well, so far the only AI obit is mine. The others are too well written.

Ok, that's fake AI. I want to see the statement to ChatGpt!! Wait a minute......is fake AI reality?? Or is reality fake AI?? But it is really good even if fake AI.

The following is a quote from the CEO of Verizon, who today in the Wall Street Journal predicted an unemployment rate of 20 to 30 percent in the next TWO to FIVE years. The rate today is 4.3%. But what was real interesting is he "recommended that staff ask AI to write their obituary to see how...

I broke my ankle on the job and as a result got to go to physical therapy on sick leave. I did notice, that the motions recommended by the PT were exactly those of fishing from a float tube with fins. I gave it a try and it was better than the PT. So I asked for a "prescription" for PT from...

I took a friend to fish Rocky Ford and when I got there I decided I wasn't going fishing that day. The LEO showed up and wanted to see my fishing license. I told him I wasn't fishing and didn't need to show him a license. God, I was in a foul mood that day. He wanted to know IF I fished that...

It does look like he is wearing hip boots. Not bad for a AI image. Looks like the tech companies are still stealing images without attribution or payment. They can run over the little guy, but Mark McGuire might have lawyers. Though I suspect the tech companies would argue that Mark was...

I have a friend that is into "new" aircraft as a hobby. It was him, that tracked down my audio sighting outside of Area 51. He sees all sorts of interesting aircraft flying around on the east slopes of the Cascades simply because he knows what he is looking for. I think it is the proximity to...

As a forester and amateur astronomer I have NEVER seen a UFO or Sasquatch while working. On my own time I have seen TWO UFO's that were courtesy of the Department of Defense. Thank god, for both of those I did receive confirmation a couple of days later that they were DOD projects. I did HEAR...

OnX is using county data as the original source. That is who is "a little off". And that is more of a concern than OnX. Property lines outside of urban areas are ALWAYS an adventure. A SHED??......when I worked for BLM in North Idaho, we had COMPLETE THREE BEDROOM TWO BATH homes in trespass...

Didn't know where to post this. Maybe the humor section since it is funny or one of the other AI threads, but this thread seems to have morphed into a humor thread with regards to AI. In Tuesday's Wall Street Journal there is a article on MicroSoft and its AI chatbots in China. The Chinese...

The Federal workforce is incredibly productive. And thanks to Congress, parts of the Federal workforce are totally unproductive. Particularly when it comes to incorporating new technology into government. Almost all the significant technological innovations in recent years that have...
